Germany' was accepted as the world’s school-master; -the -whole world--went to _ the German school; “finished in Germany" was the last wod in science, in music, in art, in phi- losophy and even in theology. 'l`he world’s Chrstianity had become largely Gerrnaiiiz- ed while Germany went on religiously, cooly- brazenly and openly -preparing for the inevitable fourth of August, 1914. ---Why did not the world see whither it was drifting under German guidance? Germany not only did n_ot hide her purpose, she proclaimed it publicly. Her philoso- phers, our schoolmasters, taught it and we did not object, did not even doubt. We, swallowed her philosophy as the product of the highest, namely, German authority. ing, are engaged in are units in the Army at home, and with the heroic men who are holding the line in France and Flanders, are in duty , - u H and in honor bound to carry on, and to do their art as loyally as their comrades llll 7 ll'lillfFll_;"T‘l’l"Ai‘_€ lll"l_"ll‘°_‘_5_'_ l__l oierseasp The questions in dispute be- -.

Its_ august sublimity elevates the human heart beyond the earthly and the common.” ' What a fitting sequel to this teaching is the “beautiful” murdering of women and babes, the piracy at sea that 'laughs at the drowning victims of the submarine! The 'German Crown Prince, while in preparation for the coming world catac- » clysm with which Germany was to domi- nate the world, said, ten years before the outbreak of the war, “It is only by relying on our good German sword that we can hope to conquer that place in the sun which rightly belongs to us.” And the Kaiser ex- pressed himself, many years before the war as follows: “It is the soldier and the army, not-parliamentary majorities and votes, that have welded the German Empire to- gether. My confidence rcsts with the army" . . _ “God has called us to ci- vilize the world ; we are the missionaries of human progress.” Out of this mess of philosophy and bom- bast, openly taught and paraded before a world that stood open mouthed to receive it, came the war, the “holiest” and the ‘-‘most beautiful” of the fruits of German teaching. ` Germany is once more our schoolmast- er, this time teaching us by example' as well as by precept what to avoid. _ GET T() \\’0RK Commenting on the strike atiNew Glas- gow, the Halifax Chronicle says: The news that workers in the steel, mu- nition, car and shipbuilding plants in New Glasgow and Trenton, to the number of some three thousand, have gone on strike. is disturbing and greatly to be deplored not merely because of the effect upon the immediate community and the Rrovince -g_enerall_y» but becauseof the disorganiza- tion which it entails in an important phase of Canada’s war effort. The moment when 'the Forces of Freedom are locked in 2 ’_ould it not have been more consistent :vith Mr. Fielding’s announced policy of ‘benevolent 'r.eutrality,” if, in dealing with such a mater, he had had a°word of re- proach against the waste of time involved in Mr. Murphy’s fulminations against Mr. Rowell, in t_he torrential nonsense of Mr. Cannon, or in Mr. Copp’s six-hour apologia lor the Opposition’s failure to secure the 1-'oldier’s vote? There have been whisperings of late that Mr. Fielding aspires totake his old seat on the_Laurier'benches, and' it has even been hinted .that he might be induced to lead a reyuvenated Opposition. We ba- nish these thoughts from our mind, be- cause _Mr. -Fielding’s honorable record ‘ii-ohibits_ belief that he would use his pre- sent position to undermine a Government ‘ie later intended to openly attack. But he in_ost charitable view we can take is that, in an effort ,to stand absolutely _straight on neutral ground he is leaning iadly backwards. )0( wiiicx 'rim 'i‘iDi-1 TURNS _ A_ glimpse of what will happen when :he tid_e turns is given by General Foch in in article he has contributed to one of the London journals. The supreme aim, he says, must be the destruction of the ene- ny’s forces, and completely to achieve that -um the forces must be used with the ut- no_st -economy, a great reserve must be built up, and_ when the time comes that re- serve must be hurled on the enemy in an _action surpassing in violence and ener Hy all other phasesof the_battle. Here is the key to the strategy he is adopting, says the Montreal Herald which also says that the f}eneral’s article indicates why the Ger- nans are so anxious to get him to bring his _"eser_ve into action, so that to a large ex- -:ent it may be shorn of its force. \ _ Of course, the same argument applies .o the Germans. They are adopting the vlan of h_urling their reserve with unex- impled violence against our lines. But so tar they have failed of their object, which death Struggle With the enemy Of mankind "s the destruction of the Allies’ army If ‘ion the embattled fields of France, is not the time for industrial and labor disputes in this»country. Every message which comes to us from the trenches breathes the, spirit ofthe glorious Poilus of France-"if the _people at home hold fast, we can win the war.” The Army behind the Army in the field must hold the line. At this supreme General Foch is able to continue to parry he German blows without eating too much into his army of manoeuvre, the time will come when the tide will turn: The mo- menthe _begins to hurl his reserve into the battle with surpassing violence and ener- gy,_he will be staking all on a single throw.
